snapd reads /etc/environment, so setting the usual proxy environment variables there works. On Ubuntu, that's done automatically for you by Settings → Network → Network proxy, so as long as you restart snapd after changing that file you should be set.

Being more specific, the snapd.service file is located here: /lib/systemd/system/snapd.service

Remember, you will need to restart the snapd service before these changes take effect.

The method you posted here also doesn't work with authentication. Snap should just use the normal $http_proxy and $https_proxy env vars like everyone else. Here is the ubuntu bug tracker link for this problem.

There is another way to add environment variables to systemd services:
Create a folder for the snap daemon and create configuration files for the environment variables:
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/
$ echo -e '[Service]nEnvironment="http_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:3128/"'
| sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/http-proxy.conf
$ echo -e '[Service]nEnvironment="https_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:3128/"'
| sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/https-proxy.conf
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl restart snapd
After that you can check if the environment variables are set for snapd:
$ systemctl show snapd | grep proxy
Environment=http_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:3128/ https_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:3128/
DropInPaths=/etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/http-proxy.conf /etc/systemd/system/snapd.service.d/https-proxy.conf

Snap uses snapd daemon. You only need to define http_proxy and https_proxy in /etc/environment and restart the service: systemctl restart snapd.

Be careful, because the snapd reads the /etc/environment file instead of get the ENV variable.
This example below doesn't work:
export https_proxy=http://<your.ip.here>:3128
you have to use:
http://<your.ip.here>:3128

Snap service is configured to use special environment file, so you can just add http_proxy variable to it if your current environment variables are not picked up by the snap.
Open file:
sudo vim /etc/sysconfig/snapd
Add:
http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128
https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128

Be careful, because the snapd reads the /etc/environment file instead of get the ENV variable.
This example below doesn't work:
export https_proxy=http://<your.ip.here>:3128
you have to use:
http://<your.ip.here>:3128
